Changelog
v1.0.0.2026.10.27.1.73
- Initial release

Description
This mod enhances the immersion and flow of gunplay in Grand Theft Auto V by adding new damage effects to your HUD and audio, making combat and damage feel real and painful. The overhaul loosely mimics real-world pain and injury effects on your field of view and hearing.

All values, such as intensity, duration and which features are enabled, can be safely changed in the .ini file.

Features
- Displays blood effects when you are hit.
- Starts a blood vignette whose duration and intensity increase the more damage you take.
- While fading out, the vignette pulses at around 160 BPM, resembling your heartbeat.
- Blurs your vision for a short moment after a hit; the stronger the hit, the stronger and longer the blur.
- Keeps your vision slightly blurred while your health is low (below about 37%).
- Numbs and suppresses the audio you hear for a brief moment after taking damage.
- Optionally repeats audio suppression for a few seconds afterwards in an up-and-down cycle at around 160 BPM (music is not affected).
